Kuwait's army won't even qualify as police force in any of the countries.

As per Wikipedia they have over 400 M1 Abrams tanks hundreds of Humvees and other equipment and 30 thousand soldiers
Which police force has so many weapons

By alert, they mean they are revving up their gold plated Rolls Royces in readiness to escape to Saudi in case they are attacked.

It's not about the toys. A sheikh in a Ferrari will always lose against a professional racing driver in a Honda. It's about courage, discipline, know how and experience. The sheikhs fall short in all those categories.

I also want to add that it has nothing to do with race. It's due to the playboy and lazy lifestyle they have conducted for generations now.

Maybe when push comes to shove,they would do something.

Hardware doesn't make an army. Back when Saddam invaded, Kuwait was littered with army uniforms of deserters. You can't expect a people living in luxury and no experience in fighting (other than throwing stones at random expats) to stand and fight.

But remember that Kuwait has a large number of American soldiers deployed. They will be doing the fighting for them, in return for oil money.

when the drones and missiles were flying over Kuwait, F-22 were present in Kuwait, why no one detected any thing?
